Golf

[gurma]

was told that you need to be a member of a golf club in the UK if you want to golf in florida is this true?:mad2:

This is not true as I am not a member of a golf club and I played at Southern Dunes last year. I am sure they maybe some courses that you might not be able to play but there are others on here that will know more than myself.

do you have to be any good to play on some course's??

[forever florida]

No I don't think that's true. we stayed at Highlands reserve and anyone could play. Not sure about some of the Disney courses but I'm sure someone will know.

[RichF]

It helps on some courses LOL. You could always try crazy golf;)

last time i played crazy golf was in zante 2003 it was a typical greek 18 hole crazy golf course i finished 184 i think it was over par so a real golf course would be interesting!!

[daveyoghurt]

I'd love to play golf whilst I'm over there but no-one else in my family plays :( , having said that, with all the water hazards they have on the Florida courses (and who knows what lurking in there :omg: ) it's probably a good thing!

I have booked to play Falcon`s Fire this year in June and asked if they needed to see a handicap certificate(by email). They replied saying as it was a county course(or something like that) that no certificate was needed so I cannot see how you would need to be a member somewhere if you do not have to have a handicap!!:thumbs-up :thumbs-up

[leec1]

i have a handicap its called useless quite literally

do you have to be any good to play on some course's??
I haven't been asked for a handicap at any of the course's I've played in Orlando, so I guess you don't need one.

But I wouldn't advise playing if it's your first time or you haven't played another 18 hole course before.
